Opportunities to Work Together

  • When I leaned on Michele and confided in her, I was met with support and understanding. When I wanted to know/learn more about a topic she provided the resources to strengthen my mind. When I felt weak or lost, Michele reminded me of my strength, but also that this was my story, I was the author and I had the power. I got the unmedicated, holistic, empowered birth my heart ached for because she understood the importance and never let me forget what I was fighting for.

  • I couldn't have been more thrilled to have Michele with me for this birth. I have had 5 pregnancies and every delivery has been memorable but this was the most calm childbirth experience I have had. Aware of my needs, she was patient, supportive, encouraging and reminded me that I was built for birthing this baby especially when I was exhausted. I am forever grateful for her!

    Jessica

  • Michele was the biggest blessing in my birth experience. I truly could not have gotten through my unmedicated labor and delivery without her support. I was particularly impressed with how well she was able to see what I needed and provide relief without me ever having to say a word. She calmed my nerves which quickly progressed my stalling labor. Her verbal affirmations and massage techniques carried me through transition and delivery. If you are looking for someone who takes initiative, Michele is the doula for you.

Every pregnant mama needs a doula by their side and not just any one will do; Michele will straighten your crown when you fall, then shout from the rooftops what a badass you are!
